They are the most annoying ads in the world. Lots of pages have words with hyperlinks in the paragraph going to other parts of the site or to references. All these do is make it more difficult to weed out real links versus ad links, although they are getting easier for me to notice which are which, by the general words they use, i.e., cpu, motherboard, networking, etc.
It might not be phooey. I used to use one of the old True Blue IBM 50 pound metal keyboards before (don't remember the model) and when I had to switch to a regular keyboard like todays models are now I would destroy them in 6 months. The reason being is that I could wail away on the old metal one without damaging it. But I had to lighten my touch a bit with the newer keyboards because I would take out space bars like nobodys business. I spent $20 on my most recent keyboard and I had the previous one for about 7 years and it still works to some degree considering the punishment I give them.
"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a facist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." ~Herman Goering speaking at the Nuremberg trails after WWII
I'm not going to challenge this argument except to say construction workers don't use SUV's to carry material to the site and that most SUV owners merely carry their asses to the sight.
I've used a single Hotmail account for the past (5-6?) years or so as my registration e-mail account for various websites, etc. If they killed the account over one complaint, I'd be up shit creek because that's where all my lost password messages, etc. are sent. And the reason I use Hotmail is because my address stays the same even though I've moved and switch ISP's a few times.

You are correct on that point. Sometimes I'm trying to move fast through a site and click on one. They are avoidable though.

I would welcome our new highspeed overlords here in the St. Paul suburbs. Hint hint, overlords...

What is the actual number "25,000 trillion trillion"? Seems an odd way to put it.

I'm sure Microsoft is somewhere to blame in all of this, why Linux rules the earth and something about profit and Russia.

I know that I will keep buying 80lb CRT's like I have been. Not only for the reason that they are half the cost of a decent flat panel.

As far as I know you can't copyright a book title. I remember working in a bookstore and we had two new releases with the same exact name.

I guess the question is then, can you name some software that is 100% absolutely defect free?

I wonder if steroids would make this kid even more huge when he gets about high school age and is lifting 500 lbs.

I'm with you on this. This is an album/cd I'd actually buy since it doesn't seem to suck.

Or hit record once and get the whole CD, then chop it up into individual songs to save time.
